Additional Notes
Mad Truth is Casey Soma's organisation. A multimedia art project centered around the power of creative expression for improving mental health and promoting personal growth. The idea being, creative expression can be used as a remarkable tool for re-framing tragedy, trauma and mental illness in a way where these things no longer keep us from becoming our best selves but instead they can become a source of beauty, strength and resilience.

İki Laborantın Yorgun Saatleri (The Weary Hours of Two Lab Assistants) İki Laborantın Yorgun Saatleri (The Weary Hours of Two Lab Assistants)

Director: Burak Çevik

Year: 2026

At midnight, two lab assistants study an unknown substance using machines and procedures that are unclear to us. They pursue knowledge through the strict logic of the laboratory. As exhaustion settles in, one of the assistants brews Turkish coffee for the other, and the night shifts. The process becomes a fortune-telling, and the scientific gaze gives way to intuition. Moving from analysis to foresight, the two women imagine another method of knowing, a space where rational inquiry and intuitive perception coexist.
